Expectation can be a terrible thing. When
Motorola resurrected the Razr clamshell
phone last year, the combination of its
newfangled folding screen and rampant
nostalgia for the Beckham-approved
original meant it was always going to have
a job living up to our sky-high hopes. But
everyone deserves a second chance – and
while the new version might look like it’s
just had 5G shoehorned inside, there’s
a lot more going on here than just some
quicker-loading gifs.
The Razr 5G has a faster Snapdragon 765G
processor, 8GB of RAM and twice as much
internal storage at 256GB. A larger
2800mAh battery should also address
some of the previous version’s stamina
issues. Both cameras have had an upgrade
too: 20MP on the inside and 48MP on the
back, with time-of-flight autofocus and
optical image stabilisation.
The screen is still 6.2in, with that special
teardrop hinge to ensure it can hack being
folded up every time you want to stick it in
your pocket, not forgetting the 2.7in Quick
View OLED on the outside for checking
notifications. Nice... but try not to let your
expectations get too high this time, eh?
